Tune In Tuesday is a weekly feature in which bloggers get to showcase another one of their loves, music! The feature was originally created and hosted by Ginger over at GReads! but can now be found over at Kate’s Tales of Books and Bands.
My first pick is to celebrate the release of Jeri Smith-Ready’s novella Bridge. A beautiful story told from Logan’s (a character from her Shade trilogy) POV. He’s a ghost that’s having a hard time moving on and this song is just perfect for him. Makes me weepy though.

Now just a few new songs that I’ve been listening to. They’re all a little different than what I usually listen to.
Elephant – Tame Impala: a little odd but I like it.
Can’t Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis: Fun elliptical song. They played on the Colbert Report (interview) last week and I really liked them. You probably know them from the song Thrift Shop but a lot of their lyrics touch on social issues like in this performance.
Breezeblocks – alt-J: Hated it – now I like it. It grows on you.
Tessellate – alt-J: This has a bit of a slow start but I love it.
I always find new music through you karen. Kisses xoxo
ReplyDeleteI need to add these to phone to workout too
I have had music that I've hated at first but really grew on me as well. :) Enjoying these posts!!
ReplyDeleteThat's been happening to me a lot lately. I HATE a song then all of sudden I'm bouncing around to it lol
DeleteI have to check our the new Macklamore song, I like the other one
ReplyDeleteAww, poor sweet Logan. Oh! I meet Jeri this weekend at RT and she was So. Nice!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best music!
She's amazing! Glad you got to meet her. RT looked like a lot of fun.
DeleteYay Alt-J! I love both Breezeblocks and Tesselate. I hated Breezeblocks at first too. Tesselate is still probably my fav of theirs. I haven't listened to their Spotify sessions yet but I want to
ReplyDeleteThey're an acquired sound lol I'm starting to like Tesselate more than Breezeblocks.
DeleteThey were supposed to come to Orlando but canceled. :-(
Yay, love these posts of yours because I always find new music to get into! Agree about Breezeblocks - took me a while to get into, as well. Love the Tame Impala song!
ReplyDeleteThat song annoys due so much at first then one day I was like "I love this song what is it?" lol It's weird how that happens.
DeleteI like that Tame Impala song, they sound fantastic live!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen them? I have to listen to more by them - I've only heard a few songs.
DeleteI loved this: Can’t Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis :)
ReplyDeleteThat Ghost song is absolutely AMAZING and even though I haven't had a chance to read Bridge yet, I can see how it would fit Logan's story perfectly! Great music choices this week :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that IS a perfect song for Logan!! Oh poor, poor Logan.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S what that song is! I've been hearing Elephant at work apparently and couldn't figure out what it was called or who sang it. Thanks for sharing it this week so I could know! Oh! I also think I really like Tessellate... :)
Wow, great choices! I've never actually listened to the Macklemore song (have seen it everywhere, though lol), and I like it. It does sound like it would be great to exercise to :). Also, one of your songs gave me an idea for my next Tune in Tuesday, so thanks!!

I'm currently reading Jeri's book Bad to the Bone; trying to actually finish that series! LOL It's great though. Love this feature. I'm always trying to find songs that fit the books I'm reading! I don't believe I know most of these though...gotta love new finds!
